Why isn't my phone number an option for imessage?

I just switched providers with my phone and for some reason, imessage stopped working for me, so I reactivated it and I can't see my phone # as an option, just my email. I tried every single thing possible, nothing worked.

  • Strange popup: phone number being used for iMessage

    Received a popup on my iPad that reads "your phone number is now being used for iMessage on a new phone, if you're recently signed into "my phone's name" you can ignore this notification. Only option was to hit "ok". IPad is wi-Fi only ( iMessage was on and email address toggled on, no phone number listed) iMessage is now off; phone listed both email and phone number (only phone number was checked) in iMessage (which I toggled off after receiving the notification). Any ideas of what happened? Running IOS 8.1 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Thank you.

    Exact same thing happened to me last night (Australia) I was using my iPad mini when this pop up message appeared and thought how odd, my iPhone was right next to me locked...
    Thinking this this was odd I unlocked my phone and went to the App Store only to discover when it asked for my password it was changed!!
    I Was locked out of my Apple ID on both my iPhone 5 and iPad mini!
    My Apple id and icloud was HACKED!! BE WARNED EVERYONE, CHECK YOU PASSWORDS AND SEE IF YOU CAN LOG INTO YOUR APPLE IDS AS THE LONGER YOU LEAVE IT THE WORSE THE OUT COME!
    i Was lucky that I have 2 step authentication and was able to to reset the password and get my account back!
    SEEMS LIKE ICOULD HAS BEEN HACKED AGAIN PEOPLE SO BE VERY CAREFUL AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD RIGHT AWAY IF YOU CAN IF YOU EVER GET THIS POP UP MESSGAE!!

  • I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

    The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

    Hi If you have another Apple  device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

  • HT1689 I have created a new apple ID.  How do i link my phone number to it for imessages?

    This has been a massive pain in the a**e for hours. 
    Long story short, bot me and my partner have iphones, and she now has an ipad.  The iphone gave her the option of what mobile number to link both imessages and face time to, but the ipod only gives her my number and email address.  I have now created her a new apple id - so how do i link her number to it, so that messages arent just received via her email address? 
    Many thanks in advance

  • HT4859 why isn't my phone giving me the option to restore my backup?

    why isn't my phone giving me the option to restore my backup on my new device?

    How did u backed your data? iCloud or iTunes
    Was iCloud tuned on before you reset or restore your device?
    Did you backed up the data on iCloud?
    If yes then you should get the option to restore from backup once you login with the same apple id that used to backup the data.
    Otherwise, if you backed up your data on iTunes
    You can setup the device as New
    Then connect the phone to iTunes
    Right click on your phone name & you will get the option to "Restore from Backup"
    Hope this helps

  • Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

    Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

    Go to supportprofile.apple.com and remove your device. Alternatively you can call in to apple and have Apple look up your phone number. They may be able to remove it from their end.
    If it does not show up in either of these places, have the people whe own the other iPhone send you a message> this message will be blue for an iMessage> have them push an hold on that message and select the option "send as text"> this should send the message as green> do this two - four time till it starts sending as green on its own.> this should fix it.

  • Why isn't there an English language option in Itunes 12?

    Why isn't there an English language option in Itunes 12?

    Press Ctrl-, (comma) to open the Preferences screen.  Select the General tab.  There's a Language selection drop down at the bottom of the tab - you can choose between UK and US English - as far as I can tell these are always items 9 and 10 in the drop down list, so you should be able to select the appropriate one no matter what the current language setting is.

    Why isn't my phone not showing up in itunes?

    Funny, I had the same problem today for the first time.  I had to connect it with the sync cable for it to show.  Normally, it's always there waiting for a wireless sync.  Strange!

    I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

    Why is extension not a drop down option for me under window (window > extension) in Illustrator CC 2014?
    I need to open an extension I have downloaded and added to the Adobe Extension Manager CC but the extension option on the window drop down is not present.

    SUCCESS!! I figured out that you need the Application Frame option checked in order to achieve the layout I like. Silly me.
